This composer reworked his fifth symphony, stitching together the first two movements. That work's finale features a theme inspired by the sight of sixteen swans. An early five-movement symphonic choral work by this man was in 5/4 and tells the story of six cantos of his country's national epic, wherein the title character seduces his sister. He wrote a cycle of Four Legends from that epic, including one featuring the (*) Maidens of the Island. One of his nationalist pieces was played under the title Impromptu so that Russian authorities would not pick up on its message. The aforementioned cycle includes "The Swan of Tuonela" and is also called the Lemminkäinen Suite. For 10 points, name this composer who wrote the patriotic Finlandia.
